The Jira MCP server enables AI agents to interact with Jira using natural language. It provides tools for creating, updating, and managing issues, projects, and workflows. The server connects to the Jira REST API, allowing agents to perform actions like querying issues, transitioning statuses, and fetching project details. Developers use it to automate Jira tasks, streamline project management, and integrate Jira operations into larger workflows.
